Do You Have a Financial Firm?

It may take you five to ten years to actually become financially independent and be able to live off of just your investments, but maybe it only takes a year or two to have all the FU money you need to quit your job. So that's excellent advice as well. I mentioned the financial firm you worked for. Just to give a brief description of your investment strategy, it's put most of your money into Vanguard index funds when you're building your wealth. And then if you want to dial down the risk later years, you can branch off into the total bond index fund and REITs.
